"By the Rivers of Babylon" is a painting by Harold Copping, a British artist known for his religious and genre paintings. The artwork is inspired by the biblical Psalm 137, which expresses the yearnings of the Jewish people during their Babylonian captivity following the destruction of the First Temple in Jerusalem in 586 BCE. The psalm is a poignant expression of sorrow and longing for their homeland, with the famous opening lines, "By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion."

Copping's painting captures the emotional intensity of the psalm through a scene that likely depicts the exiled Jews in a moment of lamentation by the rivers of Babylon. The artwork is characterized by its rich, evocative imagery and the use of light and color to convey the depth of the captives' despair. As a painter, Copping was adept at illustrating biblical narratives, and his works often reflect a keen interest in the human aspect of these stories, focusing on the expressions and emotions of the figures within them.

Harold Copping (1863–1932) was active during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a period that saw a resurgence of interest in biblical themes in art. His paintings were widely appreciated for their narrative quality and attention to detail, which brought the stories of the Bible to life for contemporary audiences. "By the Rivers of Babylon" is one of Copping's contributions to this genre, and it remains a testament to his skill in blending artistic technique with storytelling.

The painting is part of Copping's larger body of work that includes other religious subjects, and it has been reproduced in various forms, including prints and illustrations for books, contributing to its reach and impact. As with many of Copping's paintings, "By the Rivers of Babylon" not only serves as a visual representation of a biblical episode but also as a reflection of the artist's own time, when there was a strong cultural interest in religious and historical themes.
